The "Writhing Longstaff" has stat values that are only visible to Druids. My hunter did not see the bear, cat, moonkin text on the staff itself when turning in this quest, but the text is visible when viewed on my Druid. Submitted a pic, which also shows the Staff of Beasts side-by-side comparison for stat-values.

The Soldier's Spiked Mace also has Druid-value in bear,cat and moonkin forms, but only about 417 att power, and19 armor pen. The text for the Writhing Staff shows it to have 775 attack power in bear, cat and moonkin forms, no armor pen but +75 stamina to go with the +45 agi, too.

(edit: Originally, i had linked the screen shot in the comments, but tried submitting it to the site instead. As of these postings, that text isn't shown.. but that may be because it isn't visible to any other class)

If you're like me you ended up here because you finished Last Rites as a feral druid and were hoping for an upgrade but none of those rewards really helps you out more than this one (even though the fist weapon is cool and all). What's a viable upgrade to this for ferals?

If you're a Solo player, as a tank druid... You might as well enchant this thing. You'll be holding onto it for a Looooong time. As I've been questing, there are lots of feral dps staves, but stamina AND avoidance? Thus sucker's gold.
